Leptine Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Physical activity definitely helps a lot improving the mood, but in certain situations obviously it is not enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalore Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I can attest to this from personal experience. I went through a big depressive slump at some point in my life so I started going for early morning jogs and became regular at the gym again and it's honestly mindblowing how quickly things turned around mentally for me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you are onto something here yeah, the more intense the exercise* the less mind space you have to overthink After that, your dopamine and serotonin levels will remain up for up to 24 hours and when they go down, they will be more balanced than before starting the exercise. *this is a not a medical advice, always consult a doctor first before engaging in any type of physical activity.

highwayuni Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Interesting to see that exercise + SSRI has the biggest range of responses. Also seeing how different forms of exercise vary in effectiveness for treating of depression. Depression needs to be hit biologically, socially and psychologically. SSRI’s can be hit and miss, so you need to partner it with other interventions like therapy or regular exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberto Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Yeah, I don't know. When I was depressed, I was going to the gym and nothing happened. Meds actually helped me with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman4life Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Everyone's journey with depression is different. Personally, cutting out alcohol completely and working out regularly has done wonders for my mental health! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildsidenormani Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 We're far too reliant on medication to treat depression and anxiety IMO. It was dangerously easy for me to get prescribed an SSRI (and even a benzodiazepine at once point) without it being made clear to me how reliant I would become on them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
